Originally conceived as “Project Fiona”, the renamed Edge Tablet is capable of running some new games at decent frame rates.
Part of the reason is the internals:
CPU: Core i5 or Core i7 (Ivy Bridge)
GPU: NVidia Geforce 640M LE
RAM: 4 – 8 GB
HD: 64, 128, and 256GB SS configurations
Screen: 1366×768
Others: USB 3.0, HD cam, HDMI
According to Engadget, the Edge is capable of running Dishonored at a respectable 59FPS, while Dirt: Showdown manages 41 FPS.
The different configurations are also offered in separate bundles, some with the two-stick controllers, others with a keyboard dock.
No word yet on battery life, though one shouldn’t expect much. Minimum system specs start at $999.

Really cool, but for $1000, it may be worth considering a laptop instead. However, this is definitely more worth while than say an iPad 4.
It is a very nice piece of hardware, but as XMACHINE9000 said, the price makes it a hard sell. For the money, you might be better off getting a laptop. In terms of tablet competition though, I’m sure this will be the best around for quite some time.
